The New York Rangers have a storied history that spans 100 years, during which countless players have walked the halls of Madison Square Garden, wearing the iconic blue (or white) Rangers sweater. While not all the names stitched on the back of these jerseys are well-known, these obscure Rangers still hold a place in Rangers history. Here is a look at some more players you might not remember who scored obscure goal as a New York Ranger.
Another sloppy drunken rant. If anyone actually cares about him, they'll tell him to get help. New Yorkers aren't laughing with him. They are concerned about him, Adams wrote on X, continuing: Public intoxication is a disease. He should seek help. He was safe in Times Square because we did our job. Again. Seek help. AAA: Andy's Alcohol Anonymous. My response to @Andy: AA.
A lot of community engagement, a lot of planning, went into those projects. ... Unless there's any fatal flaws, we should get them back on the board as quickly as we can. That's certainly one early priority. Clearly, fast and free buses is going to be a priority. We know DOT has had capacity challenges. We need to staff up.
Is your B train commute feeling extra stressful these days? Congratulations: the data agrees with you. For the second year in a row, the B has claimed the unenviable crown as New York City's most delayed subway line, according to using official MTA performance data. In 2025, the line arrived late up to 26 percent of the time, meaning more than one in four B train trips missed their scheduled arrival window.
"Alysse Mazakian still had three months left on her previous lease when she happened to look at the Streeteasy listing for this apartment - a small unit in the East Village in a building from 1900 with a ton of prewar charm, a price low enough Alysse could forgo roommates, and an especially unique feature: a clawfoot bathtub in the kitchen!"
As these observations reflect, Mamdani's campaign opened a new direction for the city, a new beginning, offering a clear and masterful diagnosis of the growing inequality and key issues needing attention. He offered changes that have been thwarted for decades and set a high bar for a new governing agenda-a belief that municipal government can be an instrument to enable those who work hard to thrive.
I am proud to share that New York City government is leading by example in this critical mission. As New York City's chief decarbonization officer, and a deputy commissioner at the Department of Citywide Administrative Services (DCAS), it is my duty to lead the city government's carbon reduction efforts. Our mandates are ambitious: Local Law 97 of 2019 requires us to reduce greenhouse gas emissions 50 percent by 2030.
This year, the Times Square Ball will light up in red, white and blue. After it drops, it will rise again above the illuminated 2026 sign, as the first-ever release of 2,000 pounds of red, white and blue confetti falls on the Crossroads of the World. It will not fall again until July 3 in yet another celebration of patriotism and birthday excitement.
